It's awesome to see it's so similar to A320 or B737 cockpit, I've never been in TU-204 and I think after a few minutes I would be able to fly it (with help, of course). Only thing that is crazy is everything is in meters and kilometers, but then I notices there were some gauges in knots, so maybe you can switch it somewhere :-) But cool plane! :-)

The Russian pilots & their aircraft are cool! and the those cabin staff girls look real good! friendly people by the looks of it, I would love to one day get the chance to travel from here in Australia over to Russia & sample some of their aircraft and country!
The flight deck may not be upto western standards, but as far as I can see there's nothing lacking at all, its all just not as fancy as western airlines are used to. Very good video!
Are those attitude indicators of the western type? Since I've read traditionally Russian/Soviet aircraft feature a different style of AI in which the horizon indicator is fixed while the plane icon moves as opposed to Western practive of the opposite.
When this plane came out, it was even more technical advanced than the western counterparts ;D The russians just know how to build planes although their planes are now not popular...
@@Chorizo727 So does the Tu-204... The reason why Tu-204 has FE is because the law during the time of the design needed the plane of that size to have a third crew member inside the cockpit... But the Tu-204 surely could fly without FE.... So during that time, the Tu-204 was more advanced than the 757....
it seems really great .I liked camera angles and quality.First time I see a cockpit of Tu204-100, very interesting,I wonder much more english explanation about cockpit presentation. I don't now maybe it is already, just I'm talking about preview in here.
Russian airlines (Russian owned) still operate as they did in the Soviet era to provide work for the entire team. However, jets operated in the outside Russia are flown by two person only. It will take them (in Russia) some time to resolved the job security. Until then I believe they will operate that way although some of the other airlines in Russia and CIS have begun to fly as we do. The evolution of the aircraft manufacturing industry in great and I love them all.
older western airliners also had an engineer's seat for engine controls. Then they decided to save money and moved the consoles to usually above the pilot's heads and add that job to the pilots tasks.
this is a two pilot plane. at is flown by 2 most of the time as eel as most planes in service in russia - both newer russian build and foreign. The third one looks like an instructor - i've heard him making remarks to the other about being too late on deploying flaps
+Joseph Grannum , a little correction. Russia had old rules for "3 man" cockpits and this has since been removed. The 'early' TU 204 had a 3 man cockpit which was quickly eliminated on serial production models. The 3rd man was just to satisfy the rule and completely irrelevant within this particular airframe.
Really clean looking instrument panel, roomy cockpit. I believe Red Wings went out of business absorbed by Aeroflot. Aeroflot must have the largest number of aircraft types of any world carrier with the many mergers. Russian aircraft don't usually have much cabin baggage space, this 204 has the typical larger overhead bins while being very roomy overall. Nice video, and Yes, I also think the flight attendant is a great looking lady
Fascinating! I fly Boeing 757's. The seating position in the TU-204 appears much more erect, and the instrument panel is higher and closer than in the Boeing product. The Bakelite around the panel on the 204 is horrid! Throw that crap overboard! Robin's egg blue as all Russian cockpits are. The FMS is different- the screens seem a bit more primitive, but I recognize many of the same functions. How many fuel tanks does this simple airplane have?
Russians are amazing in engineering. simplicity, effectiveness and reliability .. this cockpit is really silent and the sky blue color for the panels is much more comfortable than grey or light brown color
Yeah somebody from baltic, maybe finland. These people hate Russia because Russia was always better than their own country and almost every time russia conquer them because they were and still are weak.
thanks for the reply... i wanted to see the FO reaction and his facial expression based on what you said... seems like captains in russia are tough on FO
A pity Red Wings got shut down. I got to sit in a Cubana TU-204 today. It was the first I got to sit in a Russian airliner. Interesting design philosophy. The crew was wonderful.
B727 is equivalent to Tu154 (not to Tu 204). What about their safety? B727 (built 1,832) hull-loss occurrencies -119 (6.49%). Tu154 (built 1,026) hull-loss occurrencies - 69 (6,72%). Both have 6% crash rate. BUT, almost all B727 stopped flying in 2001, and Tu154 is still flying today. Conclusion: Tu154 is safer than B727. P.S. How to calculate: ex 119x100/1832=6.49%.
Agree with you the problem with the tupolev record is that many Tu-154 were active many years later as airliners when they where supposed to be retired.
Generally flight and Aircraft tu-204 is good ! But Captains crew coordination CRM is not good ! thats is the reason that co-pilot is frozen ! what they will do in case of emergency ? crash or drop in panic ?
In a normal TakeOff they are shouting and talking and everyone is saying something,, I wonder how they react in an emergency?? Strile Cockpit is out of the game here.
+Airbus A320 They have different crew management philosophy, but that doesn't mean cockpit is not sterile. Everything they say is related to the departure.
Just speaking clearly and loudly. Probably ex-military. Just watch the very end, when the Cap says "Welcome to Moscow, Vnukovo airport. See y'all!". Same tone of voice and smiling. For the most part we actually talk really quiet, compared to, say Americans. Being loud is considered very offensive, except on the job or when celebrating. Then we cuss lots and talk loud (These guys didn't cuss at all though). Considered normal. :)
There are versions of the 204 available that are setup with a two-man flight deck. The Russians may ask why the rest of aviation world insists on using such an antiquated measurement system such as knots and feet.
Just watched this video and read the comments. Never mind the colour of the curtains or the grandfather clock in the corner of the flight deck it seems that everyone that can squash into the cockpit can join in the debate on how this sector should be flown. Bit dicey.

@@buzzbobforu I have a Lada Riva
I love russian airplanes as well. It’s just a fact that they aren’t as good as their western counterparts though.
Don't forget, this Tu-204 is still even SOVIET plane, not russian. Quite good for 1980s
Soviet technology is still very underrated in the west.
Yeah, because there was major anti-soviet propaganda. I hate these people who say that soviet/russian technology is bad. Even generals in Pentagon were full of fear when there was new soviet fighter or something else.

Actually the Russian cockpit looks a lot more simple. The instrument panel doesn't look as busy and more easy to read than Boeing or Airbus.
Yes, less cluttered & easier to focus.
When this plane came out, it was even more technical advanced than the western counterparts ;D The russians just know how to build planes although their planes are now not popular...

Stupid, dumb comment. This plane was NOT more technically advanced than Western parts. 757s didnn’t need a third crew member to operate.

Tupolev also made the TU-154 which has one of the best safety records in the airline industry and is capable of landing on rough and short runways.
does red wings provide schedule routes. or does it only operate charter flight ?
Very smooth and quite. I'm happily surprised.

very nice video thanks

Очень интересное видео!
Logan, а откуда сведения, что его уронили ?
is these make still available-seems only available in soviet and former soviet territories.heard their aircraft is prone to mechanical failures.
nice plane and the pretty flight attendant she looks nice as well,thnx .
at what point of this video do you hear the CPT saying "we're not just sitting here!" ??
Had the USSR not collapsed by 1991, the Tu-204 would have replaced the Tu-154 by the mid 1990's.
So it's basically an Airbus-inspired Soviet aircraft with an Embraer yoke and Boeing-style systems written in Russian with metric units?
Depends on how you look at it, I see a Tupolev 😂😂

Isnt this a 2-crew flight deck? Who is the third person??

this outdated plane has a 3 man crew, third person is a flight engineer
@AeroNevin the 204SM has a two crew cockpit. It is slightly newer and has slightly worse specs but is the same size.
Indy no his just a flight student this plane only needs 2 crew
+Pilotobe BR, no this is the TU204-100 which is a 3 pilot cockpit. The newer TU204 is only 2 pilot cockpit.

who makes the avionics package for this machine ?
This particular modification is with Russian-made.
Don't it come with western engineered engines ? I think its an option at least.
Boeing 757 / Airbus a321 exterior, cockpit reminds me of a Boeing, with a yoke of an embaer. Anyway what an amazing aircraft!
If you notice right after the flight attendant walks down the aise, they show the plane i.d. It is the same plane that crash landed.

hmmm Elvira is definitely hot!
I didn't see any departure plate either electronic nor paper in the take off and during the landing the same with the approach plate
